Wow!! As you can tell by the fact that I haven't blogged in weeks, our life has been BUSY!! We just wouldn't know life any other way. Grace and Matthew are super busy loving life and keeping mommy on her toes. James is working so hard to keep me a stay at home mommy and doing a fabulous job showing everyone what a dedicated, hard working man he is. I am busy starting my new Mary Kay business and planning for our very first year of homeschooling.
I just can't believe all of the amazing ways God is blessing our sweet family. I'm looking forward to both of these amazing adventures and all that I am going to learn through them. I have been in my element and I'm loving every minute of it but boy does it feel like a juggling act sometimes. I have really begun to prioritize my busy life and I started by reading a book called, Homeschool Super Mom...NOT! by Susan Kemmerer. This book has revolutionized who I am as a mom. I originally began to read it to give me ideas on how to juggle all of these new things in my life but it opened my eyes to so much more. I am beginning to watch what I say to the children, how I say it and most importantly I'm putting my life into prospective. I understand that life will always be a juggling act, but I'm learning that I can only toss around so many things at one time. Sometimes, I need to lay something down and come back to it later and other times I need to put something away for good. The two things I will never put down and will ALWAYS be of utmost importance are...GOD and my family. When these things are in line, the rest will fall into place.
I'm so grateful that the Lord sends these little golden nuggets to keep my life on track. I am "Jesus with clothes on" for my children. They will see and feel His love in the way I live my life. I don't want to ever get so busy and stressed that I miss the greatest opportunity that I have ever been given and that is to raise my precious babies in "they way they should go". Anything that may come in the way of this will just have to wait. Thank you, Jesus, for thinking enough of me to bless me with such an amazing responsiblity.
